Brain Teasers
Eating White
Eating white is what I mostly do
If quick enough, a fruit and some things blue
When you see pink, sky blue, orange, or red
It would be wise to turn my yellow head
In a dark room with blue walls
I run from the ghosts that roam the halls
What am I?

Answer
Pacman (Braingle version)Pacman usually eats the white dots. When a fruit pops up, he may get it or it disappears. When Pacman eats the bigger white dots, the ghosts turn blue and he is able to eat them.
The colors of the ghosts are pink, sky blue, orange and red. When you are coming close to one, you should turn the other way.
The background is black and the maze walls are blue.

Very clever. I didn't get it and I play that all the time! Good job.

I've never played...so had absolutely no clue. I was looking at exotic birds...
that was good , I have not played the game for a long time, so I was stumped.
had no idea because i've only ever casually played pac man. i was thinking a bird or insect of some kind. very clever.
Fun... you haven't a clue until you look at the answer and you're all "Oh... DUH!"
Nice
Loved it!
wow...

This 1 was very clever, also hard cause i didnt have an idea of what it was.
I was a Pacman fanatic back in the 80s but I never, ever thought of that!! Course, it's been over twenty years since i played, so guess it was stored in some distant, inaccessible neurons.
i got it right away but i have a friend who loves pac man and im addicted to video games
Yay!!! I got it right away!
great teaser goin in my favs!
great teaser goin in my favs!
I didn't get it either, but that's because its so esoteric that you pretty much have to live video games to get it.
Good one!
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
so clever. like SO clever. i loved it. it was really awesome!!!!!!! great job!!!!!!!
Very nice
My guess was Ms PacMan.
Its been a long time .... but I didn't think PacMan has Yellow Head (does he?) And I though Ms PacMan had a Yellow ribbon??
Taking a trip back in time to 80s...

Once I got to the part about long blue halls and running away from ghosts, I got it... and suddenly the rest made sense. Good riddle!
clever

OMG...can't believe you stumped me on this...with one of the only arcade games I played because there was no blood and gore... very well done spookboy0! Added to my faves!
Straight oughta my gen., and I had to get the answer! I love it! Keep up the (good) work (those 2 words don't Blong in the same sentence)...
Excellent! Well done, very clever and all that.

I DIDNT GET IT CAUSE I NEVER PLAYED PACMAN(BRAINGLE VERSION).
I have no idea what you are talking about. Who edits thes questions??????????????
Cool job!
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!
I thought the sun... but the sun as the answer doesn't make sense with the rest of the riddle (which I never thought of.) All I thought was, "The sun is yellow." good one! I play pacman and yet I can't get it... going in my faves
very sweet .....in my faves.....evn though i didnt get it right !!!
I never would have gotten that in a million years!
Nice one.
Nice one.
Wow. Definitely one of my favourites! I've never really played Pacman (Braingle version), but even if I did I don't think I would have guessed it. Keep the brilliant riddles coming!
i was thinking of a lightbulb too...
wowee i did not get taht one! great it was cool tho.
Very well written! I like it a lot!!!!
How cute! Love that ol' Pacman
That was a good one, i failed to get it right, but guess i'm not alone
Pacman?? Brings back fond memories . . . seems like eons ago!
Had to pull that one from the deepest recesses of my mind.
Pacman, never got into it. Although my daughter sure loved it.
Totally Awesome teaser! Here, I am an young man from the 70's, so I recall video and pre-computer games. But, a bit of coffee helped awaken my mind. TY! Ready for some more.
That is tooo cool. I play pacman all the time & I never thought of that.
I am from pre-Pacman era, so I didn't get this teaser. My sons were avid players so I'm familiar with the game, sort of anyways.
So excited. Finally a teaser that I got right away. It was a good one.
had to peek laughed at the answerkeep us thinking

Great teaser eventhough I had no clue!!!
I love PacMan, but it's been a few too many years since I played last! Well, at least that's my excuse for not getting the answer!

i used to play pacman with my kids all the time but in sure didn't think of it here. great teaser give us some more like that and i might solve one
Nice!!! Great!!! Liked it!!! One of the coolest teasers I've ever read.
hahahaha that was really good
Really cute! I didn't get it, and like many others I love Pacman!
Really hard. I've never played any kind of Pacman so didn't have a chance but tried hard. Considered odd birds,maybe some electric toy vehicles that have a problem with deep blue shades, and my favorite was an automatic room vacuum. I know a lot of them are round and made to have a facelike area. Maybe it has trouble with deep blue and eats blueberries when it runs over them. I do like the riddle.
lmao! i think this might have been the second time i saw this teaser, and i still missed it. i thought it was the sky...
whoops
whoops
Totally fffflllored! No idea about Pacman. Sorry.
Totally nailed me on that one! Good job! Just'd known! Thanks for submitting.
Meant to say "just should've known"... Oh well, it's late! Great teaser! Thanks!
I was stumped . Good one!
You have an excellent one, Thanks for teasing my brain.
DOHHHHH!!!!!
I actually printed out the teaser, left it around my house for the weekend, and several people were pondering it... nobody really had any ideas though.
Then today, I was moseying around Braingle, and I played a bunch of games. It didn't even occur to me that I played one where I was a yellow head in a dark room with blue walls, eating white and fruit and some things blue....
*SIGH!*

Me too, you got me! Great teaser tho. Played it once or twice a long time ago but was expecting that answer. Good job!
Very nice!!
only played Pacman a few times many years ago so no frame of reference for me. I'm sure the younger folks got it.
u got me!!!!!! nice one....too bad i have packman on gmail and i still didnt get it...wow
Ooh me likey this one. One of my favourites.
I got this right away...
But how did this teaser pass? Teasers cannot mention Braingle.com

Totally cool!!! Loved it!
Reminds me of being 6 and fretting about getting down off an elephant. I had no notion that "down" was fluffy feathers.
I didn't grow up playing pacman, so I didn't have a clue.
loved it! i thought it could be the sun, but it doesn't eat fruit.
Guess my brain is full today because I would've never thought of it! Great teaser!
Excellent teaser! Totally stumped me. Love it!
About three times more clues than you needed. Could have been short and sweet with just the first two lines.
I REALLY DIDNT GET THIS ONE GREAT JOB VERY DIFFICULT AND FUN
Never ever played these types of games, so I had no clue as to what this was about!!
Totally lost. I guess I'm from the wrong generation to think of pac-man.
I agree with catfood.
For people who think they are in the wrong generation for Pac-Man: It's right here on Braingle!
Did you guys know the names of the ghosts? The red one is Blinky, the pink one is Pinky, the blue one is Inky, and the orange one is Clyde.

Clever, got the answer but I had to read it a couple of times.
Not everyone plays pacman so it was not good for all. I am not alone on this one as I read what others have said also.
I'm with Babe on this one. It's a "either you know it or you don't" kind of riddle. I don't play Pacman.
"Either you know it, or you don't" - but I'll add: "or you SHOULD HAVE known it!" I played pac man LOTS - years ago, and with a little more thought, may have figured it out. But you stumped me! Really good teaser - I enjoyed it (especially when I looked at the answer!)
To catladycac...Is it possible that you think all of us were brought up in families who could afford such toys? We did not have pacman period so why SHOULD we have known the answer??? Get real!
Sorry, Babe - I was referring to MYSELF that I should have known it - no offense to anyone else!! I wasn't brought up with those toys either - I am somewhat older, but there was an arcade next to the grocery store where I used to shop, where every weekend afternoon you could get in for $1 and play all of the games all afternoon without putting in any money - much cheaper than a movie, and to me, much more fun! Again, my apologies for any misunderstanding!
That was really good! I didn't get it, but after reading the answer, I realize I should have, and it completely made sense, which is the mark of a great teaser, imo.
I was stumped at first on this one. I put it aside and looked at it later and the answer was as plain as day! I have never played the Braingle version of Pacman, because my tablet does not support the Braingle games. Unfortunately. I am unable to play any of the games. The regular version of Pac man sounds about the same though. Very good riddle!
I did not get this one. I have not experienced Pacman for about 35 years since I was a teen.
How did I not get this? What a wonderful riddle! I had no idea what the answer might be, but once I threw in the towel and read the answer I went back to re-read the riddle. Sure enough! All the clues are precise and clear. This is just terrific.
